4. Regulation Use
Any use of the Pressure Sensor with Ceramic Sensor Element, model: SEN-
9601, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may invalidate its
warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
Caution!
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in case of damages
caused by the improper use of the product and by the non-respect of
the instructions reported in this manual.
- Follow carefully the specific safety rules in case of measuring oxygen
pressure, acetylene, inflammable or toxic gas or liquids.
- Disconnect the instruments only after depressurization of the system.
- The process fluids residuals in the disassembled instruments could
affect people, the environment and the system. It is highly
recommended to take proper precautions.
Before installation be sure that the right instrument has been selected
following the working conditions and in particular the range, the
working temperature and the compatibility between the material used
and the process fluid.
- This manual does not concern the instruments conforming to
standard 94/9/CE (ATEX).
- The product warranty is no longer valid in case of non-authorized
modifications and of wrong use of the product.
- The user is totally responsible for the instrument installation and
maintenance.
- Handle and carefully stock the instrument used for toxic or
inflammable liquids measurement
The pressure transmitter turns the input pressure into an output electrical signal.
The electrical signal changes in proportion to the input pressure level.

5. General
The KOBOLD SEN-96 Standard model is an electronic transmitter with ceramic
sensor for air, industrial, technical gases and water and oil, designed to be
installed in gas distribution plants, on bottles, on refrigerators, on compressors,
on vacuum pumps and hydraulics and water high pressure plants.
6. Installation
Before installing electrical instrument safely and securely into a plant or a system
the user should verify the instrument suitability to the plant characteristics and the
correct installation. After installation the user should verify that the instrument is
not exposed to any source of heat exceeding the established ambient limits.
Secure the instrument thread through a special key/wrench on the process
connection hexagon (20…30 Nm). The correct torque depends on the type of
process connection and the type of seal used (form and material).
As for those process connections with a cylindrical thread (Gas-Metric), a head
gasket compatible with the measurement gas or fluid should be used.
If the connection thread is conical the instrument is tightened through a simple
screwing on the plug. In order to improve the thread tightness it is recommended
to place a PTFE layer on the male thread.
